The model that gave the ultimate «starting shot» in the small family premium segment is back. And we decided to take it to our YouTube channel to see if it's up to the competition.

In this video, Diogo Teixeira invites you to take a 20-minute journey behind the wheel of the new A3 in the 35 TFSI version with the S Line equipment level — the sportiest version.

Audi A3. A formula for success

In total, the Audi A3 has already sold more than 5 million units worldwide . In Portugal alone, there were more than 50 thousand units since the first generation (8L). Therefore, an immense responsibility rests on the shoulders of the new Audi A3.

Of that responsibility, certainly a significant part, will be in charge of this Sportback 35 TFSI version.

According to Audi's new nomenclature, 35 TFSI means that under the bonnet we find the 1.5 Turbo (EA211) engine with 150 hp from the Volkswagen Group. Exactly the same engine that we recently found in another video on the channel: the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabrio tested by Guilherme Costa.
